I know the feeling you are talking about. I was 37 when I bought my first tractor and I was smiling from ear-to-ear when it fired for the first time. I had all intentions of buying one of my grandfathers tractors from his estate sate but my uncle had other thoughts. So I came back out to Washington and began the search for my own. The one I wanted from my Grand dad was a 140 farmall but they are virtually non existent out west. I did find a 49 Super A and spent an entire year restoring it. It was my way of working through my Grand dad's death and I now have a brand new looking tractor. I have been gone from that small farm in Kentucky for about 25 years now but it is always close to my heard. I'm in the Air Force and after 21 vyears, my wife and I have decided to hang it up and come home again. The tractor has already made the 2400 mile journey home. My dad was so impressed, he bought my second project for me. I know that feeling your talking about and be careful, I've heard this fever is uncurable, but what a way to go. Congradulations on your tractor and cherish it just as tour father in law did, you'll never regret it.
